How Long Does an Oil Change Take?

Auto Mechanic Checking Oil

Is your Chevy due for oil service? If you’re a first-time car owner, you might be curious how long you can expect an oil change to take. Usually, oil changes take no longer than an hour. This means you can schedule an oil change at our service center during the day, bring your car in during your lunch break, and get it done. Read on to learn more about oil changes, how long they take, and why they’re important!

How Long Should an Oil Change Take If I Complete It at Home?

It depends on how familiar you are with completing oil changes. If you’ve never performed this type of service before, you’ll want to budget for at least an hour, but it can take longer than that if you’re inexperienced and don’t have the right tools. You’ll need fresh oil that matches the required grade for your car, a new oil filter and oil filter gasket, a rubber mallet, wrenches, a jack, and wheel blocks. It’s often easier for Hudson drivers to simply bring their vehicles to us — where we have state-of-the-art software and top-of-the-line tools to get the job done quickly.

More Information About Oil Changes

Before you schedule oil service in Catskill, consider the following “the more you know” facts about oil changes:

  • On average, new vehicles need oil changes once every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Some cars can last as long as 10,000 miles. Refer to your Chevy owner’s manual for recommendations.
  • Before scheduling, check out our service specials for opportunities to print Chevy oil change coupons!
  • While you’re checking your owner’s manual for recommended intervals, read up on whether your car takes conventional or synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is usually more expensive, but it has greater longevity than conventional oil.
